Bikini Bowling. Yes, It’s Another Strange Japanese Ad

bowling_bikini.jpg

If there’s one thing the Japanese appear to be obsessed with when it comes to game shows and advertising, it’s attractive women in bikinis. Doing strange things. Like sliding down a bowling alley sideways while wearing a bikini for a Ladies Beauty Bowling competition. All to promote a hair removal product.

Strange as it is, we like this ad but can someone at Ogilvy Mather Japan, the agency which created this ad, please tell us why, if this ad is running in Japan, all the signage is in English and the the voiceover is accompanied by English subtitles? That is, aside from making it easy for us English-speaking ad critics to understand.
